Residents can drop off their real Christmas trees at 11 locations across the district.

 

• Residents are asked to remove any decorations first, such as lights or wreaths.
• Trees must be placed as far back as possible in the fenced bay.
• Any trees left in car parks not on this list will be treated as fly-tipping.

 

NFDC will recycle the trees by chipping them to create mulch. The mulch will be used locally to help keep moisture around plant roots, and to prevent weeds from growing.

• Blackfield (Gang Warily Community Centre Car Park, SO45 1GA)
• Brockenhurst (Brookley Road Car Park, SO42 7RA)
